Jermaine Landsberger & Paulo Morello
with Dejan Terzic & Peter Weniger
“Hammond Eggs” (IOR CD 77087-2)
Many anecdotes and clichés have grown up around the Hammond B3. This is no problem at all for a highly accomplished organ player like Jermaine Landsberger, particularly as he has a guitarist with the same tongue-in cheekiness at his side: Paulo Morello. The duo has taken up the challenge of freeing the mighty organ from the realm of nostalgia and dusty grooves and, with “Hammond Eggs”, they have discovered the real thing. This production cleverly links together blues, boogaloo, modern jazz, shuffle and funk, and, notwithstanding this unconventional approach, the music brings out the true character of the B3 throughout the session
Ten years ago the pair discovered that they are birds of a feather and since then they have worked regularly together on jazz gigs. As long as a decade ago, they had planned to make an album together – and now their dream has come true. To enhance the project, they invited two other jazz virtuosi to join them.

From the Linernotes:
„Apart from being an excruciating pun, the title of this album is quite appropriate, because ham and eggs go extremely well together. And so do Paulo Morello and Jermaine Landsberger.”
– Mike Hennessey
